Granted, it will run slightly faster than it should on really fast systems, but at least you can enjoy it because mouse movement is then almost perfectly smooth. Keep pressing it until game starts to feel nice and smooth. While playing the game, press Ctrl+F12 to increase number of Dosbox cycles available to the game. Clearly, default value isn’t enough, that’s why it becomes all sluggish and laggy. To compensate this, you need to adjust Dosbox number of cycles used to run the game. Scrolling the map is weird and mouse movement is really sluggish. This only has to be done once and it will remain in this mode until you again use the Alt+R switch.Īfter using Alt+R switch, you may notice game being a bit laggy.
Unless your system isn’t capable of running it through Dosbox at such quality, I see no reason not to use this mode.
This Alt+R switch is not documented anywhere and it’s not available within graphic settings which is weird, but that’s how it is. The screen will go blank for a second and game should switch to a higher quality mode, providing far better visual quality. While playing, press Alt+R while playing the game. Now, run the game and start to actually play a certain map. Sort of middle ground between grainy and blurry image. Direct3D helps make things a lot smoother (though not fully hardware accelerated, just the rendering to the screen itself) and Scaling Engine set to “super2xsai” provides best scaling with decent sharpness and pixel blending. But of course, select the resolution of your monitor. …set the settings the same way as seen in the image. First thing you have to do is to open Dungeon Keeper Gold (GOG) game folder and run “Dosbox Configurator” shortcut.
But it didn’t go all that well at first…įirst of all, this is a DOS version, meaning it is a bit crippled graphically compared to Windows version from the start. It took me a while to give in, but I’ve finally bought Dungeon Keeper Gold on GOG after watching their Twitch stream.
